Mr. Silvey of HNTB stated that the EPA grant on the sewer
rehabilitation was based on a prior study and would participate
in funding only for joints found leaking at that time. If new
leaks are found the cost of repairs would be the sole
responsibility of the Sewer Utility. Mr. Walker stated he felt it
would be in the best interest to fix all leaks found and made a
motion to allow up to $3000 to seal leaks not covered by the EPA
grant on the sewer rehabilitation project and if additional funds
are needed, to come back. Motion seconded by Mr. Swift and passed
unanimously. Mr. Silvey stated the sealing of any leak would be
individually approved by HNTB.
